There are many prejudice
against women globally but thankfully, women are challenging them and
proving that they are not how the world defines them. However, if asked
one thing you have heard people say about Nigerian women, what would you
say?We compiled responses from 13 Nigerian women about one
thing they have heard people say about Nigerian women and we are sure it
resonates.JOY INYAMU
Runz girls. I understand we have a lot of ladies who give women a bad
name, but there are just as much hard working ones. If only we choose
to shine the spotlight in the right areas.
The fact that a lady is well put together physically and has nice
things doesn’t equate to the truth that she is a kept woman or has slept
her way to the top, or to the nice things she owns.MNENA ACHINEKU
‘Na woman’. Usually said after a driver does something a male driver
doesn’t like and he realises that it’s a woman driving. We all know
that when there’s an accident, it’s usually two men that come out of the
cars to look at the damage.
Women are better drivers, yet we get ‘na woman’. It’s nothing to do with our actual ability, it’s something deeper than that.REMI TAIWO
We are supposed to know how to cook. Really? Was I born with cooking
skills? Was anyone ever born with any skill at all? I think men,
particularly women, should calm down on other women that don’t know how
to cook. Encouragement is what they need.SHADE LADIPO
“Women are bitches in the work place, especially women in top
positions.” It’s a very disgusting thing to say, because there are so
many horrible male bosses. But it’s not a bad thing to be a man and be
tough as a boss, but once a woman is tough, then she’s a bitch.GBEMI OLATERU-OLAGBEGI
The most annoying thing I’ve heard is that Nigerian women are materialistic. Not all of us are.SEYI OLUYOLE
The number one goal of every woman is to get married and a woman’s achievement is naught without a husband and children.
Hogwash! I mean getting married is cool but I don’t believe it’s the
end game of every woman. Marriage is a choice not a career path.LOLO 1
People say women are the weaker vessels but I have seen women prove them wrong over and over again.
People say women cannot rule or are not ripe enough to rule our
nation but I beg to differ that it is not in the gender but in the
capability of the individual to lead.ELSIE GODWIN
“A woman should not speak when men or elders (always men too) are
speaking.” That’s just ridiculous. Don’t even think all that happens
just in Nollywood. That is the reality and it’s very annoying.GBEMISOLA OGUNYEMI
I’ve heard a lot but I think the one that stands out for me presently is
the fact that some Nigerian men think that the rediscovery and
regeneration of a Nigerian woman are to be blamed on
feminism-brainwashing.
Like women in Nigeria have had their sense of respect and traditionalism towards men washed away by feminism.AMANDA CHISOM
That women are not as intelligent as men so their opinions do not
matter. I have a long list but this is the most annoying so far. Every
time I hear it, I get mad.ADAEZE EZENWA
It’s hard to pick the most annoying thing I have heard about women in
Nigeria. However, it always irks me when people describe Nigerian women
as lazy, especially stay at home mums. Do they know just how hard it is
to run a home?FARIDA ADAMU
There are so many annoying things that have been said about women in
Nigeria and I’ve learnt to pay less attention to people spewing
ignorance but what gets to me more is the phrase “You are a woman o.”
People say it all the time especially when trying to limit women.EBUNLOLA OMORAIYEWA
Well, not just applicable to Nigerian women. ‘The best gift you can
give your husband is your virginity’. Keeping your virginity is showing
reverence to God and to the knowledge that the Holy Spirit resides in
your temple (body).
You don’t gift that to a man. Besides such statements sparks
patriarchy. Nobody speaks to the men on gifting their virginity to their
wives. It is not the exclusive preserve of women.
Everyone should live holy and acceptable and keep their virginity as
well as other commandments (of what use is the virginity if you are
keeping malice with your neighbours or you tell lies?) in honour of God
not man.
Our obedience to God should be complete and it is for everyone. P.s. I
married as a virgin and virginity did not keep the marriage.
